Radiation Health Physics (M.S. or M.H.P) – Online

Learning coast to coast

Navy Lieutenant Colby Mangini earned his Master of Health Physics degree from Oregon State Ecampus while serving as a nuclear power instructor in Charleston, South Carolina. It was an experience he still raves about.

A trip to the OSU campus in Corvallis spurred him to enroll in the university's Ph.D. health physics program soon thereafter.

Advance your career in the field of radiation protection through OSU's online master's program in radiation health physics. The current program offers both a research-basedMaster of Science degree and a professionalMaster of Health Physics degree, which does not require a thesis. Employment within this field continues to grow and opportunities include federal, state and local environmental protection agencies, medical care facilities, nuclear reactor sites, national laboratories and private consulting.

Learn from a top-ranked school

U.S. News and World Report ranks Oregon State University among the top 10 nuclear engineering schools in the nation. Oregon State University, a Carnegie Doctoral/Research-Extensive University, has long played a leading role in education and research in nuclear areas. The Oregon State Radiation Center houses a 1.1 Megawatt TRIGA Mark II research reactor as well as teaching research laboratories in radiation safety, nuclear chemistry and nuclear engineering. There is no other university facility of its combined capabilities in the western half of the United States.
